Customer Question

I have a 2002 Ford...

I have a 2002 Ford Escape. Replaced the iac valve and it wouldn’t start. Disconnected battery and next day it ran fine. Yesterday it wouldn’t start again. Charged battery fully still won’t run. From what I can tell no fuel is getting to the fuel rail. Checked the fuel pump relay by placing one that works into its slot. Still won’t run. Is it possible that the fuel pump went south? I forgot to disconnect battery when I replaced the iac. Could that have hurt the pump? The iac is motorcraft and not aftermarket so I doubt I got a bad replacement.

I will tell you that...the things you have to go through to be an Expert are quite rigorous.

AlvinC answered a question about my Ford truck that only someone with an in-depth knowledge of his subject would have known what was going on.

Because of your expertise, you armed me with enough ammunition to win the battle with the dealer. They are installing a fuel filter and fuel pump at no charge to me.

I do know, after going though this with JustAnswer, that I can somewhat trust my mechanic but I will always contact you prior to going there.

I would (and have) recommend your site to others I was quite satisfied with the quality of the information received, the professional with whom I interacted, and the quick response time. Thanks, and be sure that I'll be back whenever I need a question answered in a hurry.

9 dollars, 2 hours of my time, and I drove away. Your diagnosis was right on the mark. Thank you so much.
